Super disheartening to see this. Any designer could have done an illustration, any number of local artists could have created a piece for this event. It's a seminal event that marks the reopening of Detroit’s Michigan central. Truly monumental moment for Detroit, highlighted by the crazy opening concert directed by Eminem and it wasn't worth getting a person to do the poster? Very sad.This is one of those moments in the history of ai that I will look back on with genuine disgust.A soulful event with a soulless AI facade.

That's disappointing indeed.
is it ai or vector traced?
Hello /gd/ can you please tell me what are some good books on graphic design? I have to come up with a design for a website and I'm not used to designing things.

Europoor here, where can I find high resolution .tiff images to download and print some posters for home? Looking for some pic related posters, ukiyo-e, etc. Thanks.
>>459268you could recreate these from scratch in few minutes in any vector program with infinite resolution

I've spent years doing UI, UX, and graphic design. I want to start building some web stuff myself, but I'm daunted by the steep learning curve. HTML and CSS come pretty easy, and I understand the fundamentals of flex. Jumping into this side of things isn't so bad.But I'm daunted as shit by JS. Suffering through the initial Hello World tutorial sounds brutal, and even beyond JS, merely setting up and maintaining a workspace (vscode, the terminal, installing packages, git, etc.) looks painful.Anybody know of a decent video course with a tolerable instructor and a focus on modern techniques (flex-centric, good JS framework)?
I learned by just doing it. Maybe it helps that I started in the 90s with the limits of web design. I love designing but I can't draw or paint or anything so coding is the only way to make visual designs for me so I spend time building sites and things as just progress. I suggest just following tutorials and copying them and trying to change one variable at a time and see the results as you go. Then have a page in mind and try to recreate it. Until recently I didn't know how to create a mobile version of a website but I still managed. Now I have my site and I made a music player for it, and I am designing skins. It seems daunting but it's not that hard. Javascript is a real bitch but there's ton of resources.

this image is uncanny for some reason i feel disturbed
Yep, pretty creepy.
>>457152>>458048Layman's guess, it's the weird color scheme, white, pastel pink & deep Wizard of Oz Emerald City Green, juxtaposed with the subject of the piece apparently floating in some lonely black void. Which in turn may trigger the innate fear of eternal oblivion or being forever lost in an unreachable part of space.

I made these book covers for two hypothetical academic books. It's both the front cover and the back cover. Any criticism will be helpful. You can also post book covers that you find inspiring.
>>459249Your project remembers me a lot of the Sternberg Press books.It is good but:– A book cover should be backcover - spine (if is has one) - cover. Never show it as cover - backcover ever again;– Use references of Sternberg Press as I think it will inspire you to resolve legibility problems in the title of the yellow one;– The text in the back cover of the yellow one seems pretty big for something that will be printed, and the one on the blueone seems small. Did you print-test those covers?–There is a LOT of holes in the justified text. Use pic related configuration on the justification menu and it will solve it. Use it always as a basics, but adapt when needed. Also, if you hyphenate, please edit the hyphenation menu too, as the default is pretty horrid. It both works for InDesign or Illustrator.That said, i think overall it does look good. Also it has this "series" feel to it, that is good as they are from the same author. Good job overall, just a few fixes.
>>459267Thanks for your comment! It helps me a lot to improve. I'll take a look at the references you mentioned and fix the issues as well!
>>459272Sorry, i forgot the pic I referenced. This is the base config so the justified text does not have holes.If you are using InDesign you can also open the H&J violations checkbox in preferences to review. The text with problems will be highlighted yellow, the stronger the yellow, the worse the holes in the text will make the reading. It is best to check it on large blocks of texts (as in a book page full of text) and you should just turn it on as a review option, and do not work with in on.
>>459249ugh bro these dont even make any sense and that fucking full text box justification is brutal.

It's really good. 8/10
>>459269the wing is facing the wrong way.
Former designer at Bloomberg Businessweek and The New York Times. Now, she does "design goodness" for Homer, Frank Ocean's design magazine.She apparently got ahead being a minority woman who makes designs that "challenges the power old, white men have over every day [non-white] people," and people laud her for it. Is she the real deal or just a DEI LARP?
>>459215>why are so many chinese in US and London art schools?They're called spies, sweetie. Grow up.
>>457789Maybe, but she will never be as much of a hack as Michael Beirut.

>>459264i mean, youre gay for pretending thats a valid post but looking at ithttps://www.pentagram.com/work/paypalits kinda nicetakes the whole thing and makes an image of the name, very nice
tried my hand at designing a book cover, how did i do? based on a real novel but i changed the names
The font is nice in a nautical world kinda sense. The solar system doesn't easily fit with the space ship too cattoony and soft everything green. The colors are fine.
>>459246The solar system needs to recede more into the background, and the ship should be opaque in front.
theres no real organization or proportion and shit is too close to th eedge
>>459246– The bleed on the title is shit. Don't bleed it.–thomas goodwin - mark kingstown. Dude, capitalize those names.–I do like the solar system a lot.– The spaceship is low res and I can see it without even needing to zoom.–The spaceship is also too dark overall with some spots that are too shiny.–I do like the design/shape of the spaceship, so if you need to change for another one, try to keep it as similar as possible.Great idea and overall cover, just a few fixes to be finished.
It's ugly. It's the ugliest shit you could possibly make.99% of homophobia is due to this abomination. If the gay flag were cool, if the colors actually complemented each other, if it had some cool lesbian animal symbolism or something like that people would LOVE the gays.I try to tell this to people but they're in denial
>>457131The pride flag if it was good
>>457131True. This thing is neon bright ugly.
>>459180Shit isn't even neon either. Its just too... generic.. But also retarded and ugly..
>>458870And you know the best part?, nobody's stopping you from running with it and making it an Incel symbol. That's right you can reclaim things too.
this thread is so fucking gay
I think it looks cool
Simpleton retard art. Give up.
>>459214cool. keep going
Then you should know that at the current year of 2023 graphic design is pretty much dead. I was a professional gd for almost 10 years working in both studios and on my own and I can't really find a job anymore. It's not even because of AI to be honest, its because of how the industry works and how bad the corporate environment has become. There's still web design, 3D and VFX/motion design(primarily 3D too) and if you want something similar or easy to transition then chose one of those but I'm not sure for how long they will be relevant themselves because of the AI which is basically a final nail in the coffin of gd. Of course there are and will be exceptions and maybe you will get lucky to find some obscure local business that needs you, but if you are young and looking for a career in the future you should stop consider becoming a graphic designer. This profession is dead.
>>458969There's different ways, but it depends of where you live, your portfolio, skills and they way you go about finding openings. some exampleshttps://www.reddit.com/r/graphic_design/comments/1hbre57/my_graphic_design_job_search_journey_tips_and/https://youtu.be/D5d3VOV03S8?si=of0xAp2plC3sxFpO&t=349https://youtu.be/lhZLvNQgB7w?si=TAY16Th_oQvk8h_I&t=2747https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=70Wcm5c7AF0
>>458971Thank you, I'll take a look at the links you sent me and come back with more detailed questions once I formulate them properly
>>446408Don't listen to these people. I'm in a very small town and have easily found full time salaried work any time I looked for it over the last 16 years. There are about 8 local places that provide graphic design services. I didn't have to move or anything, but if I wanted to there are even more available jobs. When you first get your degree you should look for a prepress job. There are tons of openings and this is very beginner level work and arguably better than an internship. Print isn't dead. I work in the decorated apparel market, which is expected to reach a value of around $96.5 billion by 2033, growing from a 2023 value of $29.2 billion. Advertising in print IS dead, print itself is as strong or stronger than ever AND projected to triple every 10 years. That sucks for magazine brands and for the press workers, but that has nothing to do with the availability of jobs for Graphic Designers.
>>446411Losing my virginity and getting an opportunity to socialize 500 miles from my overbearing parents was worth it.But yeah, the major was kind of pointless. The "fundamentals" of design are 90% bullshit. The "best" designers have mostly mastered bullshitting the logic behind their design positions.If you want to learn how to design stuff, a free GD courses on youtube, and 100 hours of tutorials on the adobe suite will make you more skilled than the average person graduating with a bachelor's in GD.
>>458971chris do is chris poogross
I have a yard sale coming up and I am planning to put posters up everywhere to advertise it. What are some things I could do to make a genuinely interesting poster design for a yard sale? I know this is probably a silly thing to ask for advice on, but yard sale posters are always so boring and simple. I genuinely think having a poster that is fun/interesting to look at could make a difference.
>>458921>never posted his final designwtf...
>>458921do the items in a grid-like fashion, or at least forming a shape but all equidistant from one another (I enjoy the blocking, this is just for experimentation) but the graphics could more photorealistic but very high constrast. And maybe use a simpler font, I personally use serif for everything but in this case sans-serif would be preferable
WHAT ELSE DO EMPLOYERS WANT??I can't believe that I spend my whole day, reading your terms, answering your questions with long ass paragraphs (which is redundant since the info is already in my resume). spend hours making a short video presentation, which has to be one take, so about an hour to memorize and get it right. Uploading documents and self identification shit, making a couple of graphics to show my abilities, have to kiss ass and be presentable, all for a job that I don't even want in the first place. I HAVE to work for you because I don't want to Die of hunger!! "Why you want to work for us?" I don't. Nobody does.I have a decade of experience, wore many hats, making me overqualified for the position, speak three languages and you still won't hire me. "Not good enough" What the fuck.WHAT ELSE DO YOU WANT???I studied for you, I've wasted my life in 9to5's for you, dedicated all for job security and still not good enough!
>>456962Have honest to god been considering registering an LLC, branding it up, and basically doing freelance web dev / design work, but paying some chick to negotiate clients for me.
>>458446>>458650Schools, particularly faculty who don't actually work in the fields they're teaching, condition students to think this way.There's a constant no-true scottsman gate-keeping mindset around various fields, especially design, in academia. It comes from professors, from other students, from the hack local designers who come in to do presentations and all the students believe this person's some kind of big shot.In the real world, people want shit to get done. The flyer's not a priority, it's a necessary chore. Making it look professional is important, but it's not going to be displayed in a museum. It's going to be sent to a few thousand people and only opened by 2% of them.
>>458750Ok, flyer designer.
OP here.officially one year of unemployment!I ate through my savings and have literally 10% of my money now. in 1 or 2 months until it all runs out
>>459242I got a job at a local printers. They are often looking for people.
